Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three required evidentiary criteria for extraordinary ability. While the petitioner satisfied the criteria for lesser awards and published material, the AAO found he did not demonstrate that his membership in various golf tours required outstanding achievements of their members. The petitioner therefore only met two of the ten criteria.
